Quiet CPU Coolers reduce both Heat and Noise

During operation a large amount of heat gets produced from the computer components. This heat must be dissipated to the maximum extend for keeping these components safe and effective. Components that are most susceptible to damage and loss of performance due to heat gain are CPUs, chipsets and graphics cards. A number of cooling methods are used for not only maintaining the normative functions but also to achieve better performance of the processor.

Choosing an adequate heatsink is an important task for proper computer cooling. Standard CPU coolers use aluminium heatsink. They have higher speedfans and are cheaper than other heatsinks. These PC fans perform their cooling function by passing enough air through the aluminium heatsink using their high-speed fans. Therefore, high-speed fans are important players in the cooling process. But apart from producing satisfactory CPU cooling, aluminium heatsink has the major disadvantage of producing a large amount of noise. A number of quiet CPU coolers have been developed which use copper. Although copper is far more expensive than aluminium, but designing a quiet CPU cooler is nearly impossible without using copper. Moreover, the efficiency of copper in conducting heat is nearly twice as that of aluminium.

These quiet coolers are truly unique in design. Some use flat, thin and wide fins in order to incorporate a huge amount of surface area and increase the heat dissipation area. They use copper both in their base and fins so as to maximize the rate of heat conduction. In these quiet coolers, overhead fan has also been redesigned to give superior heat dissipation and prevent overheating.
